hand saw holder

this is my way of organizing my hand saws, its been awhile since i changed things around and ive had them laying on my bench , and its been a sore spot for me every time i looked at them laying there, so today i said , im going to fix this, so i thought about it, and stated to lay them and move them to see what i could come up with…i didnt need anything fancy , just a good secure way to hold them…....and wella it came to me, a simple piece of heart pine with 2 different sizes of dattos that are three inches deep, the saws fit in there great and are very secure, and i can see them well and get to them really easily, i added my own little touch by making a small handsaw out of mahogany and in laid it with black epoxy, i like it…i screwed it to the wall with 2 three inch screws and i sparyed it with about 5 coats of lacquer…oh and a single band of walnut, just to spruce it up some…thanks for looking..and for your comments…i appreciate it…grizzman

Grizz, I think it is important that all your shop tools, holders and jigs look nice and have begun to work at that in my shop. It gives a sense of pride and joy to use something that suits your eye. To I applaud your use of the inlay and walnut stripe. They made me smile. Occam’s Razor should apply to all such practical projects, when it comes to function…as it does here.
